HR 34/New router

I currently have an HR 34 that is hardwired via connection kit to my wireless router. I'm going to be installing a new router in the next couple of days. Will I just go to Menu/Settings/Network Setup/Repeat Network Setup? Will it automatically recognize the new network, and ask me for the SSID password? I knew I should have watched the tech set it up the first time. After I connect it, will the genies auto recognized and be connected? Thanks in advance for any help.

If it is hard wired via an Ethernet connection, it won't matter what your SSID is. SSID comes into play when you connect wirelessly.

HR34 doesn't require the CCK. You can run an ethernet connection straight to the back of it. After getting a new router I would restore network defaults, then use "Connect Now" or "Repeat Network Setup", whichever is available.
